Regardless of size or frequency of use, SkyGeek can help you identify hardware. Take for instance, clamps. Like many kinds of hardware, clamps are fasteners. By applying inward pressure, these devices hold two objects together securely; this prevents movement and separation.

Clamps can be differentiated by such factors as size, types, and shape. Some are temporary (bar clamp) while others are permanent (hose clamp). Most clamps are made of metal—steel and aluminum alloy being the most common.

Aircraft utilize a variety of clamps including band clamps, which are used in ducting systems, and can be especially handy in tight areas. Aircraft also use clamps that conform to military standards. SkyGeek has an expanding inventory of clamps, particularly the MS21919 cushioned loop clamp. Click on the specific type of this series to find out more.

Note: when installing a clamp, make sure to use its torque value—usually found on the clamp or in the appropriate maintenance instruction manual.

Hazmat Item Details

If the item that you are trying to ship is deemed Hazmat you may have an additional fee added to your order when you check out. Items are deemed Hazmat as per the Section 14 Transport Information located in the item's Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Sorry, but things that can go "boom" are hard to ship and we have to pass on our fees.

Flammable or explosive items such as Fire Extinguishers, MEK, Toluene, Paint Thinner, etc. are subject to a $25.00 Hazmat fee via ground shipping methods. However, the majority of Hazmat items have no fee when shipping with a ground method.

Most Hazardous Goods are subject to air and international transport fees. This fee is $40 for domestic air shipping methods and $80 for international shipping methods.
